The major purpose of the present study was to examine whether the Kinetic School Drawing (KSD) can be used to assess children’s School Adjustment (SA). Surveys of SA and KSD were obtained from 170 pupils (first to fifth grades) in Guangzhou, China. Peer relationship, teacher-student relationship and school attitude were applied as indicators for evaluating SA. Height of self, distance between figures, number of peers and drawing order are used as indicators for evaluating the KSD. The results revealed： ① the indicators of KSD had good inter-rater reliability, and the experience of drawing training did not affect the diagnosis of indicators of KSD on SA. ② Among all the indicators of the KSD, height of self and friends were positively related to peer relationship, as well as the figure’s height and drawing order of self to the teacher-student relationship, while teacher-student distance was negatively related to teacher-student relationship, as well as self expressions to school attitude. ③ Significant differences were showed in height of figure, self direction and self position among students from different grades. In all grades, sport was the most common activity of drawing. ④ The height of figure drew by the high SA students were significantly bigger than the low SA students. In general, the study suggests that the KSD can be used as an instrument to measure SA among elementary school students.
